Why is," if and when Trump fires Rosenstein and Mueller," the question being raised ?

The question should be, WHY. It would seem that would be a part of every conversation. And, if we KNOW why, why are we just playing games.

The answer puts this whole affair in perspective.

every action with Russians, treason.

You cant be more corrupt, a bigger liar and a more unpatriotic person, no such person exists and yet nearly half of the voters still support him at least to the point where no matter what they will never vote for a Democrat.

human-rights-stripping, misogynistic, authoritarian fundie form of corrosive christianity, now all layered with open racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, etc. The final, and explosively horrific catalyst is Trump's lies, lies by the thousands, lies daily, lies non stop, lies upon lies upon lies, that have literally removed reality and all critical thought from half or so of the country's collective mindsets. Hyper UNreality, to put on twist on Ecco and Baudrillard.

The final product is a wilful, viscous, violent, hateful groundswell of complete delusion, buttressed by infantile yearnings and demands to look at ANYTHING and only see their blinkered, broken, porcine selves. All other forces, all other dissenting persons, all other thoughts, philosophies, actions, all other EVERYTHING and anything that denies the Trumpian psyche of ANY of its worldview is now rent evil and worthy of death, division, destruction.

It is a psychotic break writ large enough to tear the modern world system apart if it is left unchecked, unchallenged, unbroken.

2. hence the smearing and the lies and the spin.

they're trying desperately to find some excuse, based on fact or fantasy, that might barely justify firing them.

this is why they've been trying to somehow argue it's a partisan hit job, even though sessions, rosenstein, and mueller are all republicans, as probably are most of his team.

they made a huge stink about a couple members of the huge team appearing to have traded emails bemoaning donnie's win in november, as if that justifies shutting down the entire investigation.

they're grasping at straws and they know it, but that's all they've got.

followed by an hour of opinion circle jerk by paid propagandists are today's replacement for hard hitting journalism.

I will give WaPo credit for breaking from the herd in recent years.

but that THAT is seen as a plausible reason to obstruct justice under the guise of 'justification' for said firing.
